Oh and as for why they'd wait for E3, it's because it'll have a lot more impact then. E3 is a competition, both Sony and Microsoft will be doing their best to upstage the other. News like denying any plans for used game restrictions has the potential to damage Microsoft and boost Sony. Saving a big gun like this for…

Maybe I'm giving them too much credit, but I feel like Sony is only being cagey to trick Microsoft into looking like the bad guys. They remain non specific about it, let Microsoft tip their hand. They let the rumour mill do its job and then they take the stage at E3 to denounce them. Not only does it make Microsoft…

Would be interesting if Gsmestop just refused to stock the Xbox One. Wouldn't happen of course, GS would stand to lose more and they don't really have enough leverage. But would be interesting if they did. What I think might happen though is they'll push back by promoting the PS4 over the XBone. Provided that the…

FFX is probably a good entry point as it's got the HD re release coming out soon. Skip XIII entirely though. Not worth your time.

All his muscles are concentrated in his right wrist. Or his left if he's a southpaw.

You can't just look at weight, height and build are important factors. I'm 180lbs and I'm not overweight, but I'm also 6'1" and leaning towards athletic. This guy is 5'5" and probably has little muscle (except in his right wrist, hey-yo) so yeah 167 lbs means he's overweight. Despite being 13lbs lighter than I am.

Haha, no. If you're going to sink to making ridiculous arguments like that then there's no point continuing this discussion.

It's a three day weekend here in the UK too. Of course for us it's just Spring.

Depreciation in value isn't the same as depreciation in quality. The packaging may not last, but the actual product of a used game is of the exact same quality as it was the day it was made. I already pointed this out, you can't expect a fifteen year old car to drive the same. But a fifteen year old game will play the…

Idiot.

I don't understand how you can suggest that the game is not time limited and in the next sentence admit it can expire.

On the contrary, it has everything to do with the difference between physical and digital products. It's not about the game companies wanting rental rules, it's about consumers wanting physical ownership rules for digital products. To call what is currently in place a rental is disingenuous. It's not time-limited, nor…

"Product" is a broad term. What you said is less important than what you implied. And your implication was that they should be treated the same because they are the same. Which is just disingenuous.

And my point is that you can't argue that it shouldn't have a fee because exchanging a car doesn't have a fee. Because games are not like cars. You can argue it for any number of other reasons. But that one doesn't work.

What would be funny is if he forgot that he left the trap running and it accidentally got sent out. Or you know if the authorities had Twitter disable his account, that'd work too.

Because the keywords there are "different kinds of goods". Physical and digital goods are not the same. You can't compare cars because they quickly depreciate over time. A fifteen year old car won't drive the same as one made yesterday. Where as my copy of Final Fantasy VII plays exactly the same today as it did when…

You shouldn't want to say "I told you so" as doing so now would be premature and foolish. It's still a rumour with no more substance than the last time it was reported.

Look, I have no issue when people want to argue against preventing the resale of games. But please for the love of God stop using dumb analogies to do so. It does not help your argument in the slightest. Cars depreciate with use, games don't (at least not functionally). And once you've owned a car for a while it…

I was going to reply to this, then I saw some of your other comments. I actually have better things to do than waste my time on a lying ignorant fanboy. And whatever you say doesn't really matter. Sony is still going to eat Microsoft for breakfast this generation no matter what crap idiots like you spout.
